VIII Ignore sullivnu's Challenge

RICHARD K, Fox,
National Republican., 1887-03-18
Democratic Incompctency.

The wise policy Of the Republican party
not only made the credit OF the United
States better than that Of any other nation
in the world, but, under laws passed and
administered by Republicans, the taxes
were so levied and collected as to produce
overfowing revenue without serious
burdens upon the people.
Democratic Congress was left at lib
erty to choose between two policies, that Of
reducing revenue or expendlng the surplus
In such national and benefeent enterprises
as would add to the wealth and prosperity
Of the people, or It might have blended
these policies by removing the last vestiges
OF war taxation, the internal tax on
tobacco and the duty on sugar, and while
thus reducing the revenue materially, have
continued It sufficiently large to place our
navy again In condition to be respected
to aid in the establishment Of our foreign
commerce; to commence system of coast
defenses; to improve the waterways Of the
country, and thus cheaper transportation;
to provide suitably for every dependent
soldier, and to assist in the education OF the
ignorant.
But the Democratic House not only
failed, but refused to do any of these
things, though the Republican Senate used
every effort to secure much Of the needed
legislation. They not only did this, but,
controlled by the most despicable spirit of
narrow partisanship, they denied to the
people Of several communities that partici-
patton which they were undoubtedly
entitled to in the sisterhood of states.
Both by acts Of omission and commission
the Democratic House proved to the people
Of the country that Democrats had neither
the ability nor the craftsmanship required
to administer the affairs Of this country,
and II is only necessary for the Republican
press to keep the facts before the people TO
secure certain Republican victory at the
next election.

FASHIONS FOR BOYS.

The proverbial small boy, to

The Coiored Peoples Worlds Fair.

The Planters Journal, of Birmingham
Ala, has an excellent editorial upon "The
Colored Peoples Worlds Fair" to be held
in that city in 1888. 1t says:
1t will afford grand opportunity for the
colored people to show to the world the won
derful progress they have made and are max
ing in the advancement in citizenship and the
capacity TO work out their own destiny. No race
of people, similarly situated, have accom-
plshed so much in SO short time. consider
ing all their difficult surroundings. The COL
ored people of the south have the thanks and
gratitude Of the white race-their former
owners, for their noble behavior during the
war. That great civil contest soon drifted into
struggle for their freedom. They were fully
apprist d of every phase the war assumed.
They heard Of Lincoln's emancipation procla
nation before it was read by many of the
people of the north. With all of that, with
rare exceptions, they remained loyal to their
owners, protecting their families when the hus-
bands, brothers, and sons were in arms, and
| cultivating Ithe fields, producing the supplies
| upon which our southern armies were fed and
| enabled to continue in the service. There was
\ never time, from the battle OF Bull Run to
the surrender at Appomattox, when they could
not have put an end to the struggle in thirty
| days by a general insurrection and strike for
| freedom. All honor to the colored
| people for their noble conduct during that
| great struggle, is the sentiment of every true
southern heart 1t will result in in
calculable benefits to the colored race and have
q salutary effect upon our people, north and
south. 1t will show the world what they are
capable Of doing. 1t will open up to them the
capabilities and possibilities before them, ant
inspire them with the purpose of making bet
ter citizens, using industry and economy, aut
the importance of acquiring wealth and bet.
tering their condition in life.
All of which the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
fully indorses and hopes that the ''Fair'
will be grand success, doing all that itt
promoters hope for, and one thing more
and that is, instruct the white people of tn,
south, who ought to hold the colored peo
PIE in tall honor for their noble conduc
during the great struggle" that this feel.
ing can best be shown by allowing to til,
colored people oil their rights and privi
leges as citizens. "Soft words butter nj
parsnips."
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has demon
strated in its columns that the negro is
wealth producing race (; 1t has only to learl
to be wealth accumulating one, and thi
worlds fair may assist 1t in acquiring tina
knowledge, when, with the white people o
the south acting upon the sentiments s,
well stated In the extracts quoted above
equal political rights and privileges will
be accorded and secured to 1t.

The people are becoming very impatient
at the continued delay in giving them a
free bridge across the Potomac. The money
was appropriated and the title to tho Aque-
duct bridge acquired months ago, and so
far as the public can see nothing has been
done as yet giving promise, even in the dis
tant future, that the people are to have the
benefit Of free passage to and from the Vir-
ginia side Of the river. II official red tape
is in the way some one in power should re-
member how Alexander undid the Gordian

Coercion in Ireland.

1t is now announced that the Salisbury
ministerial "combine" will on Monday next
introduce its coercion bill for Ireland. The
English ministry is pledged to some form
of coercion, but the probabilities are that
any measure 1t offers will lead to an early
dissolution Of parliament and an appeal to
the English people as to the propriety OF
any further oppression of the long suffering
Irish.
For the first time in history, when this
promised measure comes before the i'm
perial parliament, there will be strong
party Of English representatives, led by one
Of the ablest statesmen England ever had,
who will boldly and persistently oppose any
proposition which longer denies to the Irish
people the privilege so long withheld from
them of "home rule"
Mr.. Gladstone's methods are SO well
known, though he delights In surprises,
that 1t is safe to say his battle In favor of
an Irish nationality will be bold one. He
is fully committed to the policy, aud no
doubt firm believer In 1t, that the British
Empire will be stronger with Ireland
bound to 1t through clear recognition of
Its equal rights than it is or can be with
that country fettered to it as a galley slave
is to his oar, and whilst some OF the leaders
of his party have deserted him on this ques-
tion there is little reason to doubt that q
majority Of the people of Great Britain are
in accord with the man who has succsede I
to, and SO deservedly bears, the title OF
''The Great Comm0ner."
Whilst the government may succeed In
passing coercion bill, IT will not sue.
coed In enforcing it, and the result will be
dissolution of parliament, a new election,
and the success Of Gladstone, which Will
mean liberty for Ireland, consummation
most devoutly to be wished for.

IT is the opinion Of the Rev. Mr.. Henson,
of Chicago, that the sleek, smooth, bald

via the "Canal road' from Fairfax, Alexan-
dria, and Montgomery counties would like to
know why all the money appropriated for the
District roads year after year should be spent
on other roads. Is 1t because the President
or any member OF the Cabinet does not live
out in this direction There has not been a
stroke of work done on this road for at least
five years, and 1t is in q terrible condition. es-
pecially near the Chain bridge. Five or six
years ago there was q man kept working with
a horse and cart all the year round. He did
keep the cutters cleaned out and loose stones
picked up. Now there are no cutters. Why
was he taken away? 1t Is a shame for this
road to be neglected In this way, as 1t would
road oft.
Why is it no attention is paid to 1t whatever?
Surely there Is as much travel over this road
as any other leading into your city, and in
pleasant weather there is any number of peo :
pie that drive up TO the Chain bridge. where
prettier scenery cannot be found near Washing

can be seen daily going up TO enjoy good
days fishing at Little Falls President Cleve-
land has been seen two or three times week
driving up TO the bridge. 1t seemed to be his

the north to stand reasonably solid. Protec-
